Having gathered a young enthusiastic team of employees, MIPP is flexible and innovative. In each approval plan we handle there is space for regular update and new formats added.

Approval Plan. How it works.

It is not only how many interesting books you received it is how exactly they match your collection.

From the very beginning all activities on your approval plan will be coordinated by an experienced Approval Manager who will assist on any matter as well as control each shipment sent. All parameters (geographical coverage, languages, subject, prices, number of titles, budget limits, publishers, etc.) are determined by the librarians and may be constantly updated.

Each approval plan at MIPP is a combination of unique requirements of each client which are strictly followed under the supervision of our Customer Service managers.

Your Benefits:

Working on approval, the vendor has at its disposal a number of tools which allow to offer exclusive service:

Newly Published Books Immediately in Your Stock.A newly published book usually takes a long way to your Library: it is being processed by a vendor, appears in various catalogs which are sent to customers worldwide, needs to be selected and officially ordered etc.Approval Plan means that as soon as the book matching your profile is published - we will send it to you.

The Priority in receiving Exclusive Rare Publications and Small Print Runs.Publications of research institutes, nongovernmental organizations, political parties, government documents, etc. do not usually make their way into general offer. Establishing Approval Plan secures you access to a broader book collections of narrow profile and publications with small print runs.

Saving Both Efforts and Money.This is the way to increase the result without increasing budget. The Discount starts at 20% and can go up to 40% off our standard prices.

MIPP quality and accuracy in choosing the right books for each collection is proved by the lowest return rates throughout the last years.

One of our key principles is close attention to developing an individual approval profile indicating both subject and non-subject parameters as well our deep understanding of the peculiarities of each Library we are working with. At the same time, the final decision is made by Library specialists and any book selected as not suitable may be sent back.
